What to Expect…
You can expect a fun, relaxed environment.
To get the most out of the retreat we offer main sessions with a mix of informative teaching by Matt and Belinda Stott, a time of worship and a bit of fun with our MCs.
A range of optional workshops are available led by our team, who are passionate about healthy relationships. You choose what works for you!
Our desire is for you to walk away feeling absolutely looked after, so we provide top-notch meals, including a candle-lit dinner where you will be served by our hosting team, enjoy live music and have the opportunity for a dance afterwards.
To make sure you can maximise your time away together, we offer several fun dating opportunities; dancing, movies, our very own escape room, archery, rock climbing and of course there is plenty of opportunity to explore the beauty of Waikanae!
There are local reserves, gorgeous beaches, great cafés and local museums, check out further options here.
Throughout the retreat we also run our own café with FREE barista-made coffee!
Our team is made up of caring individuals who have a passion for enriching marriages. Their aim is to both nurture and support couples, as well as be available for couples to meet with.
There will also be an experienced team available to pray with you and support you where you’re at in your journey.
